However where else should they be posted?

If h.264 is detected, flash will simply be used to decode it. End users probably won&#39;t notice any difference.<br /><br />Flip side is that Google should be taking Youtube and defaulting to VP8 in its video format by now.

The current situation is beyond pathetic. Google expects the rest of the industry to take them seriously when they can&#39;t even do that and still have not removed H.264 support from Chrome.
